Going On a Date Without Breaking the Bank. Photo: Shayne Kaye According to one economist, the true cost of a date is around $250.
That includes dinner, a movie, and the opportunity cost of time spent on a date. I’m not sure I buy the “cost of time” part, but I agree that the whole “dinner and a movie” routine can get pricey pretty quickly. That’s why I tend to suggest other activities.

Even if you can’t get to a hiking trail, city walks can be fun, too. 6. Forget five-star dining! Relationship Rules. Human beings crave intimacy, need to love and be loved.
